He has also hinted he could make a move away from the Italian champions in the summer.
If Osimhen does move, Lineker has told him he would join Arsenal if he was in his shoes.
Asked who he would sign for on the Rest Is Football podcast, Lineker explained: “I think I’d look at it and I’d go, at the moment, Arsenal.
“Obviously, we’re talking about everyone offers the same thing, that’s what you want, blah blah blah in your contract.
“I mean, to be honest, they earn so much now that you can just choose where you want to go.
“I would say, Arsenal are probably a centre-forward away from winning things. Chelsea are a centre-forward away from becoming competitive again. Manchester United are a centre-forward away from improving, but they’ve still got a long way to go.
“If I were him, you want to go somewhere where you think you’re going to win things.”
Lineker’s comments come after Osimhen hinted this week he could be on the move at the end of the season.

He revealed he has already made a decision on his future and hailed the Premier League as one of the best leagues in the world.
The 25-year-old told CBS Sport: “I want to finish the season with Napoli strong and then come up with the decision I’ve already made.”
Osimhen signed a new deal through to 2026 in December but has continued to be linked with a move away from Napoli.
The forward has eight goals across all competitions this season after winning the Serie A golden boot last term.
His 26 league goals helped fire Napoli to their first league title since 1990.
